What is this fish?

[jdryden]

I tried to get a response when this pic was first posted in the poly thread. I'm trying to figure out what the slender black fish I circled in the picture is.

Some sort of swamp eel?

 

[jdryden]

I have no idea, I don't even know where to begin looking.

An anguilla species? Im no good with my eels...

Perhaps we should ask Sol (E_Americanus) seeing as those look like his pics lol. Looks like a FW moray to me. Snouts a little flat for the common gymnothorax though, maybe the african species?

That's an Ornate birchir. Also known as a Dinasourfish. Beautiful fish with a big appetite!

Um, PP I'm thinking he was talking bout the one circled in red...

Looks like am american eel bud.

 

[Pufferpunk]

duh... didn't even see the red circle. Looks like a ropefish.

Ropes arn't scaleless thought. This thing is more eel like. http://images.google.com/imgres?img...firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&sa=N
